Abstract

“Are you interested in making physical things but don’t quite have Bob Villa levels of manual dexterity or craftsmanship? Why not build a machine that makes things for you? For this week’s UDLS, we’ll be taking a look at the exciting world of CNC equipment: including router tables, laser cutters, 3D printers, polar plotters, and more. Learn how they work, how easy they are to use, and how cheap they are to build. Marvel at the veritable cornucopia of beautifully precise stuff that comes rolling out of these machines at the press of a button! Start salivating at the possibilities of what YOU can start building TODAY with no manual dexterity required!”
